Hesitated a little in posting this because, well, this was a slightly more personal illustration again. I just sat down, and wrote down... something. I don't even know what to call it. Then i added the imagery that was in my head.
I drink a lot of coffee, and some weird crap spills outta my brain when i let it loose. So anyway - if you cant be bothered looking at the full version (shame on you) the text says
---
Stare into the depths of a cup of coffee, revel in the smell of a life drowned in addiction.
Know when where and why the mark of a pencil lives, breathing security into the future life of a face captured in a moment of tranquility, burn the paper and savor the memory
What is the cost of a world bound in the chains of creativity? Lose yourself in the ink spilled across a map of textured ideas and open your mind to the product of 80 years to come

Photoshop, about 5 hours or so.

Hello all
This is an editorial illustration based on the general concern surrounding the current level of deforestation, and what the solution might come to... which could involve a people walking around with tree helmets *cough*
Thankfully this image also doubles up as a gift for a mate Mu ha ha.
